Ryan Adams - Sweet Illusions
from the record "Cold Roses"
Tabs submitted by Tim Prizer (tim_prizer@yahoo.com)
Questions, comments, corrections welcome. And if anyone can tab out the very nice
electric guitar in the background, that would be great...
Chords used (standard tuning - eBGDAE):
Bm 234422
G 330023
D 2320xx
Em 000220
Asus4 032200
*It sounds as though Ryan mutes the A string at some points on the G and the little e
string on the D, but it sounds fine either way.
Intro
[D] [Bm]
[D] [Bm]
[D] [Bm]
[Bm] [G]
[G] [D]
[Bm]Let me go I'm only [G]letting you down
[D]I 've got nothing to [G]say to you now
[Bm]I lose the feelings that are [G]weighing me down
When I'm [D]safe
[Bm]It's turning morning all the [G]birds sing
[D]I'm not complicating [G]anything
[Bm]I'll have another then I'll [G]go to bed
But I'll [D]dream of you
Cause it's [Bm]almost over
And it's [Asus4]almost gone
CHORUS
And I can feel the [D]sweet ill[G]usion, coming
[Bm]Sweet con[G]fusion, honey
[D]Sweet ill[G]usion coming [Bm]down [Asus4]
And I ain't got nothing but love for you now
[Em] [Bm] [Em] [Bm] [Em] [Bm] [G] [Asus4]
[Bm]You and I used to [G]shine like a jewel
But [D]time's been nothing to [G]us but cruel
[Bm]So play it out and never [G]play the fool
Cause you'll [D]lose every time
[Bm]We were nothing, we were [G]only the past
[D]Hard times like [G]that don't last
[Bm]I've been forgiven, I have [G]been surpassed
By my [D]heart
Have you?
Cause it's [Bm]almost over
Yeah it's [Asus4]almost gone
And I can feel the [D]sweet ill[G]usion coming
[Bm]Sweet con[G]fusion, oh
[D]Sweet ill[G]usion coming [Bm]down [Asus4]
And I ain't got nothing but love for you
BRIDGE
[Em]Love for [G]you I can't [D]use
And [Em]lonely nights [G]multiplied by the [Asus4]blues
That I can't [Asus4]resolve [Asus4]
(very light picking on this verse)
[Bm]You never knew me but I [G]did my best
[D]I'm just lonely in[G]side I guess
[Bm]You gave me everything you [G]really tried
[D]Thanks
[Bm]If we were nothing and we're [G]only the past
[D]Then I'm just living in a [G]dream I guess
A [Bm]long black dream that [G]takes me down the river to [D]you
Where it's [Bm]almost over
And we're [Asus4]almost gone
And I can feel the [D]sweet ill[G]usion coming
[Bm]Sweet con[G]fusion, honey
[D]Sweet ill[G]usion coming [Bm]down
Well I can feel the [D]sweet ill[G]usion coming
[Bm]Sweet con[G]fusion, honey
[D]Sweet ill[G]usion coming [Bm]down [Asus4]
And I ain't got nothing but love for you now
[D] [Bm] [D] [Bm] [D] [Bm] [Em]
